The procession then wended its way to.Live Oak Cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, where he was interred. Stobo Bedon was. in -many re spects, a remarkable man. His early life was spent at th« TALK whence he went to the battle held in the war between the States. Many honors were given him by admiring friends l>oth in church and State. For one or more terms he was a member of the legislature. His rehgous views were roost lib eral, still his favorite Zion was the Presbyterian, and for many years he was a ruling elder in that church here, and afterwards at the Corinth church, and he gave much of his time to tho church militant; especi- |ally to Sabbath Schools. He was ! generous to fault, and gave liberally 1 to the deserving and to the poor. The suavity of his manners was one of the ornaments of his life, for he j always found time for his friends, and his fondness for saying some thing pleasant was proverbial with him. He lived and died unmarried. Sleep on, dear friend, and enjoy A lot of Tailors indulge in many glittering promises regard- thy well earned rest!

Yesterday was the Fanners’ Union cotton selling day here and a large number of farmers from the surrounding country came to town with their cotton, making the largest day in the local cotton market this year. The local buyers paid a good price, and those who sold are very much pleased at the results following their cotton selling days. The price paid for most of this«otton was 12 79. a few bales bringtngl2 80. Capt.

MAGISTRATE’S COURT- Last Wednesday and Thursday were busy days for Magistrate J. E. Bryan. The case was out of the ordinary. It was not a case where Jim Jenkins had|gotten drunk and drew a knife on Joe Jones, such cases being common in magistrate’s court. The defendant, W. G. Jeffords, a white man of Charleston, who last fall bought a plantation near Green Pond known as the “Means Place” had built a dwelling house on said place. He was charged with having willfully and maliciously tom away the brick from one side of the Bel linger Graveyard, desecrating the graves, or words to that effect. The graveyard in question is located on a plantation known as the “Poeasabo Plantation’’, which joins the “Means Place." This graveyard was en closed by an 18 or 20-inch brick wall, five feet high, built many years before the Civil War. The plaintiff, James M. Patterson, Esq.,«of Allendale, who is a lawyer of ability, conducted the prosecu tion, assisted by Jos. M. Moorer. The defendant was ably represent ed by Messrs Jas. E. and D. B. Peu- rifoy, who made a strong fight for their client. The plaintiff’s witnesses claimed that Mr. Jeffords took the brick from the wall and built chimneys to his new house, knowing that he was dese crating the graveyard. Mr. Jeffrods claimed that The Hadsey Lumber Co., who own the “Poeasabo Plantation”, had given him, Jeffords, tome bride which on mid plantation, and That he sent hands over there for the brick, not knowing that there was a graveyard Poeasabo Plantation” until noti fied by Mr Belli Just so the advertiser ^ho really understands. howfhe is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts productivity first. He care that he is not putting his money into a sewer. W. A. BLACK i The Ladies’ Store. „ . e ABOUT ADVr.RTlSIXG—W. S The Cellar Hole and the Sewer Hole By Herbert Kaufman. A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down anti immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable'* laughter, which continued for several minutes. File cart driver looked at him in amusement. “Say, Lncle,’’ he asked, “do you always laugh when you see coal going info a cellar?” The negro sputtered around tor af^w moments and then holding his hands to his achifig socles managed to say, “.Vo, salt, but I jest busts when I sec&st gout doivn a sewer." The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the cellar. All the money that is put into newspayx?rs isn’t taken out again by any means. The fact that all pai>ers possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character in a newspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It jnay be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising - medium. $ No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he docs not fear to leave about the house. Therefore, the respect a Vile newspaper can. always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expqct to sell goods to j)eople who haven't money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes. It isn’t the number of readers "reached but the number of readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing to arouse their attention, but it’s a far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook is weak. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you’d select the fertile spot, realising that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. i\ i i \ l m ■* i
